Salford City’s reward for knocking Notts County out of the FA Cup is another home draw in the second round, this time against Hartlepool United.

The Northern Premier League club, part owned by the former Manchester United players Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and his brother Phil, defeated County 2-0 last Friday and having secured a home draw again, will fancy their chances of progression to the third round, where they would be in the draw with United.

Eastleigh, who beat Crewe Alexandra on Saturday and sit seventh in the Vanarama National League, face an all non-league tie at another Northern Premier League club, Stourbridge.

And Brackley Town, who came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw with Newport County, face a trip to Barnet should they win their replay next week. Brackley are managed by Kevin Wilkin, who last season led Wrexham into the third round where they led 1-0 at Premier League Stoke City only to lose eventually 3-1, with the three Stoke goals coming in the final 10 minutes. Chesham, winners at Bristol Rovers on Sunday, could play Bradford City if the Yorkshire club win a replay against Aldershot Town.

FA Cup second-round draw Aldershot Town/Bradford City v Chesham Utd; Barnet v Brackley Town/Newport County; Braintree Town/Oxford Utd v Forest Green Rovers; Cambridge Utd v Doncaster Rovers; Chesterfield v Walsall; Colchester Utd v Altrincham; Dagenham & Redbridge/Morecambe v Whitehawk; Exeter City v Port Vale/Maidenhead Utd; FC United/Chesterfield v Walsall; Grimsby Town v Shrewsbury Town; Leyton Orient v Scunthorpe Utd; Millwall v Wycombe Wanderers; Northampton Town v Northwich Victoria/Boreham Wood; Peterborough Utd v Luton Town; Portsmouth v Accrington Stanley; Rochdale v Bury; Salford City v Hartlepool Utd; Sheffield Utd v Mansfield Town/Oldham Athletic; Stourbridge v Eastleigh; Welling Utd v Carlisle Utd; Yeovil Town v Stevenage

Ties to be played on the weekend of 4-7 December
